Iceni Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 OK, blonde moment - how do I vote for a thread to have 5 stars. Good idea for highlighting interesting threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Di, I must equally (or more - as I have access to quite a lot of admin functions) blonde. Because I have no idea. James is away at the moment, but when he returns we'll see if he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deby Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I've got 5 stars next to one of my posts - I thought it meant that I was the one who posted (??) but judging by my others posts - obviously not.Guess it must be my perfect english (non!) great question or that I won the lottery?And I am a supreme being too - yippee!Deby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Thanks Gay, hadn't discovered that feature There's no manual for this software.Just to hijack this topic I'm using our ancient laptop with Windows ME for this session. I've got a good connection, 48K plus, but otherwise I'm getting exactly the same as you, no smilies, no text formatting etc. I cheated to get the above smiley. I have AVG virus protection on the laptop, Norton on the desktop - could it be? Apart from different OS that's the only real difference. It's also very odd using an English (or rather American in this case) keyboard rather than French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Ok - how did you do that smilie then , all I get is :-)Any one with AVG able to see all the options ? (smilies, text options etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(smilies, text options etc)[/quote]I have seen the smileys but not now. I think it was either when I did a new post or a private message. I've not seen the other stuff. I do have AVG (one of the few things I do know about the computer - mother in laws initials you see, so I notice it!)Yep, just checked - I can see the smileys if I go to do a new post, but only smileys that highlight a topic - not for actually inserting into text. Can't see text options either.Incidentally, those smileys someone introduced us too on the old system. I downloaded the connection to those but was only able to use it on e.mails. It played havoc with the computer so we got rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Smiley Central? I have those but I'm not sure they would work here (if some kind person knows how I'd be grateful to have step by step instructions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 With Smiley Central on the old forum, you had to click on the smiley you wanted, it would tell you you couldn't have it, then you clicked on "copy HTML" and deleted a load of the HTML..... this time round it seems to work just by clicking on the smiley you want. I can see him here, will he continue to dance when I post, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I've got AVG and don't get the smily / text formatting options... but I can rate topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(smilies, text options etc)[/quote]Gay - you can make smilies by typing just the semicolon and the bracket - : ) (but without the space between - if I leave that out the smiley appears rather than the characters to produce it.Some of the others are (again, all without spaces) : O , : ( , : D , : P , ; ) . You can get more by typing (again without spaces) things like : blush , : confused , : angry , : cool , etc.SB - that's great about Smiley Central. I know several people used it with the old forum but for me it was just too much aggravation to get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 I have AVG and can see all the formatting and smileys BUT I don't have AVG running to check my e-mails, I also have On-speed but have that turned off for e-mail as well. I run Benign which removes all unusual code - so I don't get virus riddled files or 'spy bots' in e-mails.Looks like it could be AVG then. I also don't have XP SP2 running as I have programs which it will affect - so I just run all the security systems I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Smiley Central only works with PCs (All Macs have an inbuilt 'crappy design filter' which prevents access to the horrible little things because they are so badly drawn) but be careful - I found several unannounced cookies on my machine after I visited.

Dick Smith Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Sorry - seemed to have replied about the awfulness of Smiley Central twice (but they are REALLY badly drawn!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
